Right.  Good Point, David.  If you put the lyre on, seat it fully and lock
it in with the button, it should not be loose or wobbly with or without lyre
sticks.  If it is, as David wrote, inspect the mounting plates.  If it's a
nice tight fit and the lyre sticks are just fiddling around back there, well
then, go back to the beginning.  After all, this is where I am.  And this is
where I will stay..........

 Just for clarification:   the lyre itself is not wobbling?   Making you
